Shutdown.exe won't run

[Guest Donald]

I made a bat file and put in it "shutdown -s -t 00" on most of my Windows XP

Pro clients it runs fine as a scheduled task. Three of my clients put up the

error

"Required priviledge is not held by the client." and the PC does not

shutdown.

 

What priviledge do I have to set to get shutdown.exe to run on these clients?

Maybe the workaround here will help.

Yes, it seems the easiest soulution is to copy shutdown.exe from a PC with

SP3 on it to the c:\windows\system32 folder of the SP2 clients.

 

Thanks

This work around does not work. If the user has Administrative access

shutdown.exe works, if the user has User access shutdown.exe does not work.

It does not matter if it is SP2 or SP3. I need shutdown.exe to work in User

access. Can you tell me how to work around this?

Open the properties of the task and set it to run as administrator and set

the password.
